According to the archaeological evidences and Puranic literature, in the regime of Nichakshu (5th King after Parikshit) heavy flood in Ganges destroyed Hastinapur. Later on Nichakshu shifted their capital from Hastinapur to Kaushambi. Heavy flood shifted the route of River Ganga several miles towards the East. Everything was washed away in this flood.
